CL!30 ail freshor frozenvegetables
requirea standingperiodafter
cookingwithAuto Cook?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to a
crisp state during Auto Cook, just
as in regular microwaving. There-
fore, it is recommended that you let
the vegetables stand for up to 5
minutes depending on size and
density of pieces. This standing
time also enhances the overall
flavor and appearance of most
vegetab~es.
CLWhat if ! don’tcoverthedishin
Auto cook?
A. While cooking without the cover
does not affect sensor performance,
we suggest covering dishes that
may spatter to keep the oven clean.
Covering aiso helps foods heat
evenly.
C?.Do the shapes and sizesof food
makea differencewhen usingAuto
cook’?
A=Yes,in some cases,larger pieces
will require additional Time Cook-
ing, Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish,
sirme proper arrangement is often
a successful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Should i useAuto Cook to cook
puddingor sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not
open the door during the AUTO
phase of cooking without affecting
end cooking results.
Ct.My scallopedpotatoeswere not
completelycookedwhen 1removed
the dishafterAuto Cook.M/hatis
wrong?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there may have been
too much remaining moisture in the
oven. Make sure you dry the oven
completely before using Auto Cook
since this function operates properly
by sensing steam and aroma in the
oven. Also starting Auto Cook with
hot foods creates steam and aroma
in the oven too soon, and decreases
the first sensing cycle.
Q. Are there any otherfoodswhich
are bestTime Cooked,ratherthan
Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted
chocolate or foods when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.

CLWouldmy piasticcontainerswith
verytightfittinglids13eappropriate
forAutomaticCooking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage
dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight
fitting lids are not recommended for
microwaving. Also tight fitting lids
may prevent adequate steam and
aroma from escaping and food may
not cook properly during Automatic
Cooking. -
Q. I triedto warmsomechowmein
noodlesusingAutoCook. Why
didn’tthiswork?
A. Food must havesome moisture
in order to create steam which helps
the auto sensor function. Extremely
dry foods such as chow mein noo-
dles, potato chips and other such
foods do not haveenough moisture.

densities, attention needed during
cooking, and food amounts, it is -
best to useTime Cook when
